DPL Weekend Music Series: Planina: Songs of Eastern Europe

From DPL: Planina is a group of singers and instrumentalists from the Denver-Boulder area. They perform haunting and rousing music from Eastern Europe, including songs from Albania, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Georgia, Hungary, Macedonia, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Lithuania, Turkey and Ukraine, and the Sephardic and Rom (Gypsy) traditions from some of those areas. Though mostly not eastern European by heritage, the members share a fascination with the penetrating harmonies, asymmetric rhythms and challenging vocal techniques of this region. They have been sharing their delight in this music with Colorado audiences since 1988. More info about this event.

All Weekend Music Series events are free, open to the public, require no registration and take place at the Central library, Level 1 Schlessman Hall.
